Pregnancy Update

I am now 9 weeks pregnant!  I had an ultrasound on Monday the 13th thinking I was about 8 weeks pregnant....turns out I was a week off.  I am now due August 2 instead of July 26.   The ultrasound was so cool....right now baby looks like a little chicken but we saw the little heartbeat and it was amazing! 

I have been feeling alright....I would never say good, but I definitely know I could have it MUCH worse.  I have yet to throw up.  I have run to the bathroom a few times because I was sure I was going to, but no such luck.  I'm not sure what's worse....constantly wanting to throw up or actually doing it.  I go to sleep at about 8:00 every night and wake up twice during the night to go to the bathroom and get a drink or have a snack. 

The last week or so I have had some pretty nasty headaches.  I try to go as long as I can without taking tylenol but I usually do end up taking a couple. 

Also new this week are the crazy pregnancy dreams!  WOW!  I won't go into detail but let's just say I can't wait to go to sleep at night =)

My first OB appointment is on Tuesday, Jan 4.  I'm excited to see what happens.  Hopefully we'll be able to hear the heartbeat at this appointment. 

Chris has been WONDERFUL.  The only thing I would like him to do is start reading the book I bought for him but he has yet to open it.  He does drive me a little crazy when he tells me my symptoms are all in my head, but deep down I know that he knows better and maybe even likes spoiling me a bit =)

Christmas 2010

We had a busy but great first Christmas as a married couple!  I hosted my mom & brothers on Saturday the 18th....well actually mom did most of the work!  My stomach just wasn't up to it.  It was a nice weekend weather wise (no snow!) and it was nice to have everyone over.  My nephews spent the night at our house and we had fun playing with all their new toys. 

On Wednesday the 22nd we headed to Chris' mom's in Benson to celebrate Christmas with her and Roger.  We told her she was gonna be a Grandma in August and she was pretty excited! 

Christmas Eve Chris worked all day so I was home alone.  This was completely fine with me because I was not feeling well at all and pretty much held down the couch all day.   Christmas Day we went to church and hung out just Chris and I.  It was nice to have one of the days to ourselves...can't believe next year we'll have a little one to spend Christmas with!  

On Sunday the 26th Chris had to work so I headed to my dad's in Clara City for Christmas dinner with him, my brothers and nephews.  Once again we lucked out on the weather and had a nice day. 

I have pictures to post....will do that once I find the camera....stupid pregnancy brain!
